IFRC is now preparing to carry out a Real Time Evaluation (RTE) for the Response to Hurricane Eta and Iota.
Purpose: The purpose of this evaluation ascertain the relevance, effectiveness, and coherence of the support provided to the Honduran, Nicaraguan and Guatemalan Red Cross Societies in response to Hurricane Eta and Iota.
Relevance: Look at how well the response has been targeted to meet the needs of the most vulnerable, and how our work has assisted and supported the recovery of the people affected by the Hurricane Eta and Iota.
Effectiveness: Review and assess how the needs have been met or are planned to be met by the operational support provided. Identify both the successes and challenges faced by both National Societies and the IFRC secretariat in ensuring an effective and efficient delivery to those in need.
Coherence: Identify and review the coordination and support being provided by actors within and outside the Movement towards this operation. What is the added value of the various interventions and what efforts have been made to avoid duplication of efforts.
